I discussed my latest book Was 9/11 a Movie? with Dr. Kevin Barrett on "No Lies Radio" last Friday night. I delivered the message that the events of 9/11 were scripted and fed to the public much like a movie.No one seriously challenged the authenticity of my theory. Some have challenged its audacity. How dare I say that 9/11 was a faked event?While these critics slowly realize the facts that lead me to this conclusion, spelled out clearly in Was 9/11 a Movie?, I have pondered whether other historical events were likewise staged.As I suggested in Questions I Wasn't Supposed to Ask, all of the evidence that someone murdered President Kennedy comes from media sources: the death certificate, the murder weapon, the bullets, etc. This evidence works to "prove" the assassination, but may also be explained by members of a coup feeding false information to a subdued media. And the Zapruder film clearly reveals a splice that could indicate multiple "takes" of a propaganda film.Is faking history so hard to believe? Planning a narrative is the best way to control the narrative later. Visual images on television can be used effectively to persuade the public that something happened, even though it did not. Witness the "nineteen Arab hijackers" accused of flying planes into the World Trade Center on 9/11. Their images were splashed on television screens throughout the world and most presumed their guilt EVEN THOUGH THERE WERE NO HIJACKINGS!I have written recently of my doubts that other events really happened as reported. Events like Sandy Hook, the Oregon shootings, etc. How many fake events does it take to allow us to predict future events?Consider the numerical order 1,4,9. If the numbers go on as 16, 25, 36... we can establish a pattern based upon square numbers. We can do the same when we establish that events have been faked.Do we have the audacity to seek reality when our leaders define it for us?

Having written a number of books about lies that members of our government and media have told us about JFK, 9/11, the Viet Nam War and other historical events, I feel skeptical of what I call the "system." The system is simply those who make decisions for us, those who decide who makes decisions for us, those who give us the news, those who control the monetary supply, etc.So I don't like the status quo.But what happens if the system comes to a crashing halt? Maybe it tells one lie too many and the masses catch on that they have been played for fools? Or a "rogue" in one of the main media outlets reveals media complicity in the 9/11 hoax in prime time television?The system's masterful control over our news makes the above scenarios highly unlikely but remember that it takes but a straw to break the camel's back. I believe that most people are more concerned about association with "conspiracy theorists" than the veracity of claims confronting them.But if the system loses, are we any better off than Robert Redford's character Bill McKay in "The Candidate"? After winning a United States Senate election, McKay turns to a political consult and asks, "What do we do now?"Here are some questions worth asking:Who controls the air waves?Who decides the currency?Who leads the armed forces?What happens to money in bank accounts (which could be frozen by the system or anyone who took their power)?Who makes rules about the Internet?What nations would recognize the new system?Who has the nukes?The value of any choice is measured by its alternative. Are we ready for a revolution?

"Are trials ever rigged?""Did anyone die at the World Trade Center on 9/11?""Do church pastors mislead their congregations?"If you pause to answer any of these questions, you should give this book a read! Learn the art of asking the right questions to get the right answers!Get a copy here!

What are the pillars of our society?Those who make decisions on our behalf, those who enforce those decisions and those who report them to us:GovernmentChurchesThe militaryThe mediaThey are all institutions whose existences are based on beliefs they do not accept any dissension from.Government – we are legitimate and all of our actions are legitimateChurches – our dogma is correct and you will be punished in the next life if you disobeyThe military – our wars are justified and you are not patriotic if you say otherwiseThe media – what we say is true, we hide nothing important and if you disagree, you are a nut.The institutions control public discussion by labeling thoughts that would harm their existence. The following questions will never be answered by any of these pillars:Government – What is national security and what types of information are really hidden to the public for this reason?Churches – Can you prove that the leader of your religion really existed?The military – How many soldiers would you recruit if you told them the truth about why we were sending them to war?The media – How often are you pressured into dropping stories and who pressures you?To get these questions answered, we need another actor to join the debate. Many fear the institutions and their enormous power and do not ask why our society functions as it does. But we need the questions answered.Almost every debate, whether about something like guns (especially in light of recent reported shootings in the national news) or butter (like the perpetual debate of how much money to devote to the military) starts off with at least one of the false beliefs stated above. In short, the debate gets it wrong IN THE FIRST PLACE.Be a part of a public that reasonably questions what we hear. Disregard those who state beliefs but do not back them up or who refuse to answer your questions. This is how we collectively will get these questions answered. Then we can discuss the details.

In a recent essay, I named a number of "trees" in the forest of lies given to us by our leaders and our mainstream media:

JFK, RFK, October Surprise, Bush v. Gore, Nine Eleven, etc.

How do you suppose we get out of this forest?

Elections? But leaders in both parties have lied to us and covered up crimes.

Alternative Media? I like alternative forms of media but how long must we wait until a critical mass disregards the mainstream media's conclusions on the "trees"? And who is to say that alternatives won't be part of the controlled opposition?

Rounding up the criminals behind these events? Good luck with that. Since when has anyone gone to jail for anything I have mentioned.

The only real way to clear out the corruption is the unthinkable. We will simply have to think of a way around that.

JFK, MLK, RFK Gulf of Tonkin Vietnam, Desert Storm The October Surprise, Iran-Contra Bush vs. Gore Nine Eleven … What do all of these and other events have in common? War mongers profited and chances for peace plummeted The official story given to the public through the corporate media Once again trumped the truth It will keep on happening Because we think we are free And we are Except we have no freedom to change the direction of our nation

The mainstream media put their own corporate interests ahead of the public interest in giving conclusions and hiding facts about noteworthy events.I have done my own research away from mainstream sources and have made conclusions that contradict the "official" theories given to us by the mainstream media:the JFK assassinationthe RFK assassination9/11

I offer the tag line "This Site Operates as Part of Independent Media" for your easy reference as a site that offers unbiased conclusions.We have the evidence of media complicity in these and other events. We just need an audience.

The events of 9/11 were a hoax. I spent several years researching the event and have presented my conclusions on this topic. People are free to read what I have to say and agree or disagree with those conclusions. My question now is: what should we who are convinced of the falsity of the official theory of 9/11 want? We will never convict those responsible for this fraud. We will never get the mainstream media to show our side to the story. We will never reverse the policies that came about as a result of the fraud. With that in mind, we can and should focus on something that we can attain. It is something far more basic than any of these other goals and perhaps even more useful. It is the simple concept of freedom. The controversy over what happened on September 11 and many other events before and since has stoked the fears of all of us. Fear of terrorists. Fear of foreigners. Fear of flying. Fear of freedoms being taken from us. Fear of the future. In the words of Franklin Roosevelt, we need freedom from fear. We can work toward this goal by untangling us from what makes us so afraid: the unknown. Answers to a few simple questions would be helpful. Are you afraid the government will take your guns (or other freedoms)? Do you often believe what the same government tells you about 9/11 and other events? Do you believe history repeats itself? Do you believe the future will be much different than the past? If you are willing to hold two contradictory thoughts at the same time, will you ever achieve freedom of thought? Welcome to a future that will be a lot like what we have already experienced. The government and media will continue to lie to protect interests. People will continue to predict Doomsday. The truth about anything important will be known but never stated openly until it no longer matters. Clear your mind and follow the way of the world. Not a straight line to disaster but one big familiar circle instead.
